1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact

the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe the following:

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel to

prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means

cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service

panel.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with

all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue

(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment

manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire

Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air

Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden

utilities.

6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

7. Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

9. This unit must be grounded.

To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:

1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Over heat cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,

Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

1. Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. Be

careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire

department.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a range top grease fire, observe the

following:

2. Never pick up a flaming pan - You may be burned.

3. Don’t use water, including wet dishcloths or towels - violent steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher only if:

 You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.

 The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

 The fire department is being called.

 You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

1. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent

exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

CAUTION

2. Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.

3. Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range Hood.

4. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and

vapors.

5. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray,

construction dust, etc. off power unit.

6. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it

becomes overheated. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut

off and restart, have the hood serviced.

7. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be a minimum of 24" and

a maximum of 33" above the cooking surface.

8. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this hood.

9. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automatically. To reduce the

risk of injury and to prevent power from being switched on accidentally, switch power off at

service panel and lock or tag service panel.

10. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.

11. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

Note:

This range hood must be properly grounded. The unit

should be installed by a qualified electrician in

accordance with all applicable national and local

electrical codes.

The

mi

nimum hood distance above cook top must not be

less than 24’’. A maximum of 33” above cook top is highly

recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.

Distances over 33” are at the installer and users discretion.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

Note:

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.

3. Install the Aluminum Flex duct on the vent towards hood location.

7

INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS

1. After evaluating the height of the hood, place the hook

center over installation location. Drill 3 holes of Ø8mm

on a suitable place to fix the mounting brackets.

2. Put the drywall anchors into the holes and fix the

mounting screws (4x40mm) into the anchors, and install

the hook on the wall as shown.

1. Calculate the final height of the U-shaped section, drill 2

holes of Ø8mm on a suitable place in line with the slider

duct fixing support.

INSTALL SLIDERY DUCT, FIXING SUPPORT

2. Put the drywall anchors into the holes and fix the mounting

screws (4x40mm) into the anchors, and install the hook on

the wall as shown. (The rest two parts of 4x40mm screw

and drywall anchors are for spare.)

PREPARE THE HOOD

Note:

On stainless steel hoods, carefully

remove the plastic protective film

from all exterior surfaces of the hood

and decorative flues, prior to final

installation.

1. Pick out the hood from the carton.

2. Install the vent into the duct connector

of the cooker hood.

INSTALL THE HOOD

Note: At least two people will be required to mount the hood.

1. Raise the hood into its mounting position.

2. Align the rectangular opening on the back of the hood

with the wall-mounting bracket. Gently lower the hood

until it securely engages the bracket.

3. Open the Al. filter and find the two φ8 mm holes on

the back of the hood. Level the hood with 2 mounting

screws (ST4*30mm) with washer. Use drywall

anchors provided.

4. Measure the height of the glass to the slider duct fixing

support. Adjust the height of the chimney according to

the height. Then use the duct fixing support with two

screws (4x8mm) to fix the chimneys. Shown as in the

picture.

5. Put the chimney on the hood, use two screws (4x8mm)

to fix the chimney to the slider duct fixing support.

6. Use the other two screws (4x8mm) to fix the bottom of chimney.

7. After adjusting the position, open the filter and

fix the body inside with safety screws.

MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will

assure proper performance of the unit.

Filters

The filters must be cleaned approximately once

every 30 hours of operation.

Grease filters are dishwasher safe.

Remove filter by pushing filter towards the back

of hood and rotating filter downward.

Duct free (Carbon) Filters-buy separately

The duct free filters should be changed every 6

months. Rotate the filters to remove and replace.

Hood Cleaning

Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its

fine appearance.

Cleaning tips:

 Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.

 Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water

marks.

 For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser or stainless

steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.

 For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and

water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the stainless finish. Avoid using too

much pressure which may mar the surface.

 Don’t allow deposits to remain for long time.

 Don’t use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface

causing rust.

 Don’t allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact

with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals which

may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
